Pale rim and transparent garnet. Really complex and intriguing on the nose! Does it have a floral note? It`s gorgeous on the front palate with some minerals and a hint of cough medicine. It offers a ping-pong between saline damson fruit and minerals but then tightens up and tells the taster to just go away. Grainy texture on the dry finish. Clearly it has amazing depth but needs lots of time – though it opened out 24 hours after the bottle was opened. Soooo long! (JR)
